Note: Pet availability is seasonal. State and local regulations may vary. Pricing may vary by store location. PetSmart stores cannot match the price below for this pet. Ask a store associate for details.

Finches love to have visual contact with people, however, typically do not like to be handled. Talking and whistling to your bird will provide them the interaction and socialization they need. The soothing sounds of the male bird make the finch an entertaining pet. There are multiple species of finches and some do not get along. As a general rule, larger species of finches should not be housed in the same cage as smaller species.

Things to remember

NutritionFeed her 1-2 teaspoons per day of a pellet or seed-based, fortified finch diet.

High metabolic rateBecause a finch's metabolism is very active, food should beavailable at all times.

Long-term companionsBefore purchasing, be aware that a finch requires a long-term commitment of approximately 5 years.

SupplementsBe sure to provide a cuttle bone in your finch's cage at all times.

HabitatFinches like to fly, so when selecting a cage remember that length is better than height. Your finch's cage must be large enough for her to comfortably stretch her wings and fly from perch to perch. The bigger the cage, the better.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BBG90 My Zebra Finches
I bought my male zebra finch from PetSmart and a female from another store. The male is pretty and both him and the female are very small. The male is loud and sings all day. They both sing, but the female is quieter. They are both playful and energetic. They are fun and good to watch. They are easy to take care of. Although I wanted a quiet pet, these birds are good pets.

I bought a pair of these wonderful little active birds and we enjoy them so much. They never seem to sit still, they are always hoping from perch to perch and they love to swing. We have several other finches as well but we could not house them together because the Zebra's are very aggressive and territorial so beware if you are planning to have more than one type of finch you will need separate cages. These birds are very busy and they need a large long flight cage and nests are a must as they sleep in them at night. Their chirp sounds like a dogs squeaky toy to me but the male's song is very beautiful. These birds will bring loads of enjoyment for your family!

I bought a male finch from there for my friend. He got very lonely though. I bought a female a week later, They both were happy. I gave them a few months to settle down and they laid a clutch. I was so happy. They ate the eggs though. :l
